Freya and Echo are heading to Crufts!

  • last year
Freya Harris, 8, from Horncastle, was diagnosed with Wilms’ tumour, a rare form of kidney cancer that only affects around 80 children in the UK a year.

Last year, her parents decided to get her an Australian Shepherd puppy, Echo, and Freya decided to take up the hobby of dog showing, following a dream since she’d had since she had started watching Crufts on TV to one day try and compete at the show herself.

Incredibly, in just their first competition together, she and Echo qualified for Crufts and the inseparable duo will be taking part in the competition at the NEC Birmingham on Friday, March 10.
